23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1987, a man can be seen walking along the south pier at the entrance to Old Sharpness Dock in Gloucestershire, England. The pier, with its aged and weathered boards, curves gently around the bend, leading the eye towards the distant horizon and the vast expanse of the tidal estuary beyond. The man's solitary figure adds a sense of melancholy to the scene, as if he is lost in thought or contemplating the passing of time. Old Sharpness Dock, once a bustling hub of commercial activity, now stands as a testament to the past. The dock, which was built in the late 1800s, was used to transport coal and other goods from the nearby canal to ships waiting at the entrance. However, with the decline of the coal industry and the rise of larger, more efficient ports, Old Sharpness Dock fell into disuse. Despite its history, the dock remains an intriguing and picturesque attraction for visitors to the area. The pier, with its distinctive curve, provides a perfect vantage point from which to watch the tide come in and out, and the quiet, peaceful atmosphere invites reflection and relaxation. The photograph, taken by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of this unique and historic place. The grainy texture of the print, combined with the muted tones of the image, adds to the sense of nostalgia and the passing of time. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the past, and the enduring power of nature to shape and transform our surroundings.
